madPete Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I broke down and finished a couple new linen shirts, figuring I would need them for a 4 day event in the fall. When throwing my kit together I want to use my Buccaneer jacket more often, but my waistcoats are all long and hang below the coat. So I threw together a simple linen short waistcoat. I didnt even do pockets, I literally started put it together last Sunday and finished the button holes/attached buttons today. I also tried something new with the shirts. Reenforcement stitch on the neck slit. First one is not perfect, but it will do the job... Aye... Plunder Awaits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tudor MercWench Smith Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Love the reinforcement stitches! I was not brave enough to try them on mine, and just stuck with the reinforcement patches. Waistcoat looks great too.did you use a particular pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Diamond Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I really like the waistcoat material, and waistcoat/shirt combination… great work, as always! Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madPete Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 Thanks! Hopefully it encourages others to try their hand. it takes a bit of practice (and I hate the instructions that come with most patterns). When I needed help I went to youtube for instructions, but most if it is old hat now. Aye... Plunder Awaits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madPete Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 AAGGGHHHH! I went to all that work and then left my wardrobe hanging on the closet door! The coats, waistcoats and new shirts all stayed at home. Next time it goes on the pyle so I dont miss it! Fortunately I had slops and socks and one old shirt thrown in by accident. Long Beach went well anyway! I guess I need to follow my own fly advice when I drive to an event too. Basic kit in a backpack on my back !!! Aye... Plunder Awaits!

LadyBarbossa Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Don't ye hate when that happens? Well, glad Long Beach went well nevertheless. What very few pictures I've seen, and from two people reporting in after going to the event, it sounds like it was a lovely pirate event. Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

madPete Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 William took a lot of pics and posted most of them on facebook. We did some staged ones on the beach burying treasure, marooned etc... I'll ask If I can post them here on the pub. Aye... Plunder Awaits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
